a.   arousal caused by dissonance is misinterpreted as frustration.
b.   dissonance is reduced by derogating the victim, increasing the odds of later aggression.
c.   frustration is mistaken for dissonance.
d.   “blowing off steam” increases the arousal caused by dissonance, yielding more aggression.
